* 2-4 inches of snow above 5500 feet elevation, some locations up to 8 inches; some snow possible down to 3500 feet elevation (which could affect passes) * Expect restricted visibility and slick roads.
Not included in this advisory, but I’d expect mountain areas in #Los_Angeles and #San_Diego counties to likewise receive snowfall.
!SoCal #NOAA / #NWS issued a wind advisory for the mountains of #San_Bernardino, #Riverside, and #San_Diego County mountains, the San Gorgonio Pass, and some areas of the deserts. West winds 25-35MPH, with gusts to 55MPH until around 16:00 PST. Expect low visibility due to windblown dust and sand
If you're here in #SoCal, be aware. (Nothing mentioned about Los Angeles, Orange, or Ventura counties, so they could have a similar alert that I just haven't seen.
#NOAA / #NWS Fire weather and Red flag warning for the following !SoCal areas:
#San_Bernardino and #Riverside Counties ( #Inland_Empire ) mountains, valleys, canyons, passes #Orange County inland areas #San_Diego County mountains and inland valleys Parts of the San Bernardino and Cleveland national forests San Gorgonio Pass
From 2020-12-07 04:00 PST to 2020-12-08 22:00. NE winds from 20-30MPH, with gusts to 40MPH (and up to 50MPH in/below certain passes and canyons). Relative humidity 10-20%. Outdoor burning not recommended, as fires will spread rapidly.
The wind events seem to be mild. #NOAA / #NWS is tagging them as Santa Anas, and they are coming from the Northeast and coldish on this side of the mountains, but they aren't the 70MPH winds I expect when I hear about Santa Ana winds.
Still, there's a fire weather warning for !SoCal areas in #San_Bernardino and #Riverside and #Orange and #San_Diego counties from the mountains to the beaches. Winds expected to be 20-30MPH with gusts to 40MPH and higher speeds in the foothills; humidity 10 to 20 percent.
Outdoor burning not recommended, as any brush fires will spread rapidly.
#NOAA / #NWS issuing #fire_weather alert (watch) for portions of !SoCal's #San_Bernardino and #Riverside and #San_Diego Counties, as "strong gusty winds and low humidity" are expected in mountains and valleys. Includes some #Low_Desert areas, but no #High_Desert areas. Yucaipa, home to two large fires this Summer, is included in the danger area.
The alert does not cover #Orange or #Los_Angeles counties, but that may be a function of which office issued the bulletin.
If you're in Southern California, please be careful not to do things which could cause another catastrophic fire. There was a town in NorCal (Paradise) that no one had ever heard of until nearly the entire town burned down and many residents were killed in a fire a couple of years ago. We don't want other municipalities to relive their experience.
Now includes most of #San_Diego County and part of #San_Bernardino County. High temperatures, low humidities, strong gusty winds. The alert does not mention #Orange or #Los_Angeles Counties, but it is unlikely that they are not also affected. #SoCal coastal slopes and mountain foothills could be most affected, along with southern SDCounty and San Gorgonio Pass.
Some places may see temperatures up to 116F (which is the hottest I’ve ever known it to get ... for a few days 15-20 years back). If you’re in SoCal, take precautions. I haven’t checked the news, but if beaches are open, I’d expect them to be ultra-crowded.
Oh, wow. Looks like there are flash flood watches from the upper Mojave Desert to the Mexican border tomorrow and Wednesday. If you didn't already have a reason not to go out, you do now.
Avoid places with standing water on the road. Keep your speed down. Use inner lanes when you can, so you avoid the higher water accumulations in the outside lanes.
Due to !SoCal rainfall, #NOAA / #NWS issued an areal flood advisory for SW #San_Bernardino County, W #Riverside County, and most of #Orange_County. Rainfall rates of 0.25 inch / hour, with some local areas higher. Expect urban and small stream flooding. The flash flood watch for these areas plus #San_Diego County continues.
I mostly agree. The Chargers should have stayed in #San_Diego, where they had a loyal and enthusiastic fan base. They and the #NFL erred in moving them 100 miles North.
(I personally care not for the #Rams, either. They left !SoCal for #St_Louis, #MO, and should have stayed there.)
